Re: Trouble developing on windows 7

 

This message is indeed strange, since you have libwebkit-1.0-2.dll on your PATH. Sorry that I can't help you there. Developing a feature on Linux that works on all platforms should not be a problem, however. That is the way I develop as well. Which feature do you have in mind by the way?

Cheers,
Jendrik

No, I'm getting a slightly different error now though:

/Webkit was not found. It can be found in a package with the name python-webkit or pywebkitgtk.
DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found./

The interesting point in this error message is the DLL load failure. I have the installed Rednotebook on my PATH variable. I should probably look at compiling pywebkitgtk on my version of Windows 7, but that looks exceptionally involved. I'm going to have to go down the developing on Ubuntu route I think... although I really can't be sure that my code is any good, free of OS specific issues, unless I can try it out on both Linux and Windows. I'm primiarly a Windows user, so building a Linux only feature would be a real pain/waste.

    You probably need the pywebkitgtk bindings from
    https://code.google.com/p/pywebkitgtk/. The bindings have to be
    compiled, so I uploaded a compiled version I use. You can download
    the compiled webkitgtk bindings from
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4780737/pywebkitgtk.zip and
    add the contained "webkit" dir to C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages.
    Does this fix the error?

    I followed the new steps. For anyone who hasn't looked at the
    winbuild instructions here they are:

    == Install requirements ==
      * Install Python 2.7 for Windows from the Python website
    [www.python.org <http://www.python.org>].
      * Download and install the latest RedNotebook installer for
    Windows.
      * Add the directory containing rednotebook.exe to your PATH.
      * Install PyYaml for Python 2.7 from
    [http://pyyaml.org/wiki/PyYAML]
      * Install Bzr for Python 2.7 with TortoiseBzr
    (https://launchpad.net/bzr/+download)
      * Download the chardet package and add the "chardet" directory
    to C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages
      * Restart the system

    I still see a "Webkit not found" error following these
    instructions... which I suppose makes sense, seeing as I do not
    have any kind of webkit module in my python module list. I
    presume that I need to partially install some sort of python
    module that can bind to the binaries in the Rednotebook directory?

        Hi Matthew,

        I updated the instructions, but haven't tested them (
        https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jendrikseipp/rednotebook/trunk/view/head:/win/win-build.txt
        <https://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Ejendrikseipp/rednotebook/trunk/view/head:/win/win-build.txt>).
        Could you provide some feedback, please? If that's an option
        for you I would recommend using a Linux virtual machine (e.g.
        with Ubuntu) for the development.

        Cheers,

        Hey,

        I'm having trouble getting my development environment setup.
        There is a note at the top of WinBuild.txt saying the
        instructions are outdated.
        Could anyone provide me with more up to date instructions?
